Welsh Gem

This most stunning Welsh waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr is but 10 miles from our home in the Berwyn Mountains. There are a series of 3 drops down the rock face. 

As you get closer the 240ft drop looks even more impressive. That natural rock arch is so amazing!

Local Legend says that a serpent with wings, known as Gwybr (GWEE-brr, the shining white dragon), lived in the lake above the waterfall and once every few days would fly down the valley to the village and snatch children, women or animals, taking them back to the lake to devour them. Gwybr Legend

We were lucky to find a shady parking spot near the river Rhaeadr, where we sat and ate a calming picnic lunch.

My knight made sure the serpent didn't capture me

There's so much luscious greenery here
